Bicester is halfway between Birmingham and London, and the nearest motorway is the M40. The town is home to the UK's only hub for historic motoring excellence, with over 45 specialist automotive businesses at the Bicester Heritage site. The Vendee Drive roundabout in Bicester is notorious for accidents, so be careful if it's on your driving route. If you need public transport, Stagecoach operates most bus services, with routes including Banbury, Oxford, Brackley and Milton Keynes.
In the late ‘90s, some car manufacturers started adding a specialised microchip to car keys to give their vehicles an extra level of security. If the vehicle doesn't detect the chip, it won't start. But what happens if you lose your keys? Who can programme car keys?
You need to find an emergency car locksmith who offers a car key programming service. This process involves reprogramming a blank chip to match your vehicle's current settings and putting it into a new key fob.
Most locksmiths offer mobile car key programming since you probably can't come to them without a working set of keys. Instead, they bring all the tools and equipment to you.
Do all car keys need to be programmed? This question is common among drivers; the answer is that almost all modern car keys contain a transponder chip and therefore have to be programmed.
